Not only do our K9s help protect the attractions and our guests, but we offer world-class K9 training during an annual conference for law enforcement, and our K9s are often involved with special encounters that teach the truth of God’s Word and the gospel to families.

In everything we do, we proclaim the truth of God’s Word!

Yes, in everything we do, we proclaim the truth of God’s Word!

Thank you again to Vested Interest in K9s and the Bovais family who supplied this vest.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
